I’ve found, for me, that prints/apparel haven’t worked. Like at all. I’m about to shread a big box of prints this week that just haven’t moved. 2026 will be a year to start again I feel. Keep to my traditional media roots, push harder, produce more across here & Cara.
artists! the social media landscape has changed so much in the past years. what are you doing to promote your art / get visibility? what's working / not working for you?

Hegseth is pathetic. He’s the spineless, idiot bully we all knew in the school playground. Disgusting.

Doctor Strange - The Best Defence (one-shot)
Written by @gerryduggan.bsky.social
Art by @gregsmallwood.bsky.social
Better late than never 😅. Dr Strange walks a desolate earth, bringing decades of work together as he attempts to bring Dormammu to his knees. A fantastic, clean, crisp read.

Sorry to my followers for my political posts, I’m sure it’s jarring when your most likely here for the art (thank you 🙂)

I’d like to produce more sci-fi work (spacecraft) and to also produce some cover work, specifically comic covers. I feel I’m ready for these kind of challenges. #illustration #art2026 #pencilart
What are your art ambitions for 2026? Make sure to post them here so we can publicly shame you if you achieve none of them!!

2025 is done.
I greatly appreciate all the support this year, it’s been a tricky one. I’ve not hit the levels I was striving for. Prints, commissions and the store haven’t worked, It’s been a wobbly time creatively. Have I achieved much?, no.
Here’s to a better 2026.

As far as I can tell, head of Instagram #AdamMosseri is completely unaware how hypocritical he sounds and the damage he’s done. To talk so passionately about individuality and GenAI simultaneously is crazy.

Decided to render a version of this commission that was left on the drawing room floor. The accepted version isn’t too dissimilar, I feel you can see the train of thought. ✏️
